4 Most Expensive Guns in the World - RIA Auction

The Rock Island Auction Company is one of the biggest antique auction houses around. They have garnered fame for auctioning unique and interesting firearms such as Theodore Roosevelt's Single Action Colt and many other pieces of history.
They hold a limited number of auctions each year and often bring an exciting range for antique collectors and firearms fans all over the world. However most of us will never have the opportunity to own one of these exceptional pieces.
Rock Island auction has broken records for some of the most expensive firearms ever sold, topped only by Bonhams sale of “the Gun that killed Billy the Kid”. A colt single action army that sold for $6.01 million. The price of these items does not do justice for the rich history and meaning that they carry with them.
Without further ado Madman reviews presents the four most expensive firearms sold by the Rock Island Auction Company.

Crazy good craftsmanship

[@AlexXanderMarketing]

I like the sea captain colt.

[@josephpacchetti5997]

Nice, I've fired an 1847 Walker-Colt {Replica} Its a beast, around 5 1/2 lbs and 70 grains of Black powder it was the .44 Magnum of Its day, If I had any of these, I would sell them and buy a new H.D. Super-Glide and ride, I'm not getting any younger and would rather be in the wind as opposed to sitting around and looking at these beautiful hunks on Iron.

[@paulhomsy2751]

Extremely interesting video ! The Napoleon set and the Ulysses Grant set are phenomenal pieces of work of their times. Superb, both collections !!

[@thetraveler5798]

Wonderful pieces of historical art weapons ..! 👍👍👍✅

I was amazed and mesmerized at the Napoleon Arm’s set-Until General Grant’s Cased Set of Remington’s. National Treasure 🇺🇸

[@steveperry1344]

do you think the napoleon and grant guns were ever fired or just left on display in the cases.

I live in England, these gun videos make me cry, we can't even mail order a BB Gun, but criminals can own whatever.

Se eu tivesse como, compraria todas elas. Simplesmente lindas e que construções inteligentes, quanta engenharia para construir qualquer uma delas. Quanta criatividade. Sou um apaixonado.

[@newguy2794]

Just a short story. I personally own a very special (no, I won't name it here) handgun. I was told by a gun dealer the I probably should make it into a safe Queen and not shoot it. I told him that if I had a gun that I couldn't make go bang, I didn't want it. He sheepishly admitted that if he owned it, he'd have shoot it as well. Having said that, if I were wealthy enough to own any of the weapons mentioned in this video, I wouldn't buy them because I definitely wouldn't be able to shoot them. Have a great day gun people!

A friend of mine owned a pawn shop and he called to tell me about a shotgun he had gotten in. It was a 1950 Browning Superposed in a custom case. I went to look at it and it was almost brand new. I haggled with my friend and he did owe me a few favors, so I got a good deal on it. However, I just couldn't bring myself to take it hunting, which is why I bought it. It was just too damn pretty! Anyway, I took it back to my friend who was more than happy to give me my money back, because he knew he could sell it for more to someone else. If I had scratched the fine finish on that gun going through the brush I would've been physically ill. Besides, my friend still owed me some favors again!

[@wildcolonialman]

Magnificent.

Good thing to read comment while watching,,,, by the the this my comment posted im not watching this video anymore,, lol

[@stevesteve8508]

The excellent video in comintation .

[@exothermal.sprocket]

How about we re-price all these guns without inflation, moving back before the Federal Reserve Act. The shocking thing wouldn't be the price they auctioned at. The shocking thing would be the reality of just how worthless the currency currently is.

[@001alien.]

Damn, they are even auctioning the gun of America's discoverer Columbus 👋🏻💥🚫

[@carrestore]

nice video😍👍

[@24934637]

They are all beautiful firearms, but I'd much rather have something like the gold plated Walther PP once owned by Adolf Hitler. Weapons such as the ones shown don't have any history that directly relates to me, where as something from the Second World War does. Then again, I'd love a nice modern reproduction of a Colt pistol with the beautiful colours of the case hardening on the frame, just for target shooting and fun! :D

[@specialized29er86]

Just because someone paid 6 million doesn't mean its worth 6 million.

[@ericgleixner4074]

Not Peterson, it's Patterson. It was Colts first gun. Walker was second. Dragoon was third.

[@basicdude]

I’d trade all of these to own Lincoln’s Henry Rifle at the Smithsonian

[@philhawley1219]

The tins of percussion caps were made in England by Eley Bros. Please pronounce it properly as Eelee. They are still in business making ammunition.

Warning the photo is click bait. There is no story about the pistol shown.

[@curtisnewton895]

the dragoon is the coolest one

[@bosse641]

WOW.

[@MrSloika]

Petersen Colts? Um, no. The first Colt revolvers were manufactured in Paterson, New Jersey and are today known as the PATERSON COLTS. Google is your friend.

[@bellakaldera3305]

Napoleon's "rifle" seems to have a flared muzzle, is it actually rifled, I wonder? It looks like a very fancy coach gun considering it's relatively short barrel. Exquisite arms indeed.

[@RockIslandAuctionCompany]

It was indeed a rifle. The flare here is mostly aesthetic.

[@KO-vr5kq]

each scratch and little dent / blemish has its own story.

[@samuelschick8813]

Makes one wonder how much Robert E Lee's gun would go for.

[@stefanschleps8758]

Less than G.S. Patton's. 😆

[@001alien.]

It is really sad that instead of a museum, these historical and valuable weapons are bought from auctions and by collectors. It is very sad.

[@Wootangtw]

Those old black powder revolvers of Grant’s looks bran new…

[@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki]

they also "show up' in 2018??? after being given to a handyman?? in payment?? provenance is key; someone is lying.

How do u get peterson from patterson.

First thing I would do is shoot the flintlocks!

On 9:34 it shows a different pair of Remington revolvers with Navy motives. One of Ivory panels contains the Russian Imperial Eagle.

How much will the Colt Paterson 1836 used by the Winchesters' would cost at auction especially at "hunters" auction 🤣

[@bennynielsen1412]

Why in the world would you have a picture, painted by GERMAN painter Harry Haerendel, portraying Dorus Rijkers, a DUTCH naval rescue sailor when the subject is a gun originally owned by a DANISH seacaptain named Niels Hansen? Do your research. I found these bits of information in under 7 minutes because the image hung on the wall of my childhood home...

[@craigdutton6072]

I found a kinda rare gun under a set of old stairs on a farm ! It was a bsa pump action .22 I didn’t have a license to own it but my grandfather repaired it for me it had a missing firing pin he made his own from a old spanner lol 😂 I shot a lotta rabbits with it ! Then Australia 🇦🇺 had its first mass shooting so I handed it in in a gun 🔫 amnesty ! I got $2000 for that old rifle for it be destroyed ! Sad but I wasn’t getting into trouble for a old rifle

Were you afraid of the stasi going door to door to toss the place in search of guns?

[@victorrojaspardaian7695]

Hay q estar loco para pagar tanto para comprar un arma que no se puede usar y que solo pueden mostrar a algún amigo de vez en cuando. Es gastar estúpidamente para comprar un objeto que te va a esclavizar, pues requerirá una inversión extra en seguridad.

Hi

[@nobigdeal4917]

nice gun but the engraving offers no tactical advantage whatsoever

[@patdaly4107]

It's so hard to tell you how much you got wrong but just for instance Grant never carried Remington pistols he carried a pair of 58 colts that's 1858 colts and 36 caliber because that's what the common cavalry soldier would carry they may have been presentation pieces to him but he never carried them

[@Calibir1]

It's Paterson with an (A) - Not - "Peterson" like you said... and that's all I got to say about that.

All right one quick question the gun they said that killed Billy the Kid now didn't they actually say that that dude bushy bill was Billy the Kid he had all the scars and everything to prove it or some s*** I just can't understand how somebody would pay that much money for a gun that possibly could be false I don't know maybe I'm wrong
